Join Lewes in Bloom Tuesday, May 6, to help dig up the tulip bulbs around Lewes that were planted for this year’s Tulip Festival. The dig was originally planned for May 1, but has changed due to inclement weather. Participants need to bring a shovel and a bag to Zwaanendael Park, Stango Park, Mary Vessels Park, 1812 Park or the Gateway on Kings Highway from 10 a.m. to noon only. Park supervisors will be present to help coordinate the dig. Dig the bulbs up and give them a new home for free. Areas not included in the dig are Canalfront Park, the Children’s Learning Garden in Stango Park and in front of the Zwaanendael Museum. Contact Carol Richardson, projects officer for the City of Lewes at 302-645-7777, Ext. 100.
